LAKEWOOD - Police have arrested a man they believe exposed himself in a Madison Avenue parking lot.

Gerardo Santiago-Velazquez, 31, is facing a lewdness charge after his Oct. 4 arrest, according to a prepared statement from Detective Lt. LeRoy Marshall.

Police officers first went to 1700 Madison Ave. around 9:45 Oct. 2 to investigate a "report of a male exposing himself to people in the parking lot," Marshall said.

By the time the officers arrived, the suspect had left in a car, Marshall said. "The witnesses in the area described the suspect as a younger Hispanic male and were able to provide a license plate for the suspect vehicle," Marshall said.

Police arrested Santiago-Velazquez Oct. 4 and released him on a summons pending a court hearing, Marshall said.
